Abstract:
A continuation of an article in the January 1938 issue, this piece continues to follow Badger's Senatorial career looking specifically at the Compromise of 1850. This legislation dealt with newly acquired territories from the Mexican-American War. The Compromise was filled with tension between northern and southern states regarding topics such as state succession and slavery, Badger's remarks on both are analyzed here from the personal speeches made by the Senator.
